All inquiring thus far, officials PAGE SEVEN said, wantd to know how much they would have " to contribute from back salary in order to re ceive a la ger annuity. It was explained that legis lators, as well as cabinet offi cers," the 'president, and others covered iito the system by last Monday's extension of the 21- year eld retirement law could elect to rtcelye s larger annuity : by paying; a percentage of back j nv . at tkks a smaller one by starting Contributions only' on ; current "jWiyV -:' ','' ' Legislators also have the op tion of fing in or staying out of the system.

Titus, head of the travel and in formation .department of 'the state highway commission, said Thursday in an address before Salem Lions club. Tourist trade during war times is pretty much unpredictable, Titus said. National advertising for the year has been abandoned and .tourist advertising will be confined to newspapers in Wash ington, California, Idaho and nearby states. Third largest "industry" in 1941, tourist trade brought some $53,000,000 into the state last year, he pointed out.

Ey- erly, chairman of the Salem Pro ductive Facilities committee, re ported to a group of businessmen here Thursday noon. Eyerly said it was proposed that interested shop proprietors formally agree to accept such work when It is made available, pooling their productive equip ment when necessary. Investigation made at Bremer ton by Lee and Harry Eyerly and John Waters, the latter engineer for the Salem Iron Works and Dallas Machine and Locomotive Works, indicated that no direct contracts with the navy were available at this time. i Willamette Starts Spring Term 1 o Monday; Summer Session Slated Fall semester closes today at Willamette university.
